gsd-advisor-researcher

gsd-advisor-researcher is an agent for Claude Code from gsd-build/get-shit-done. It costs 32 tokens per session (1,233 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research helper for one uncertain project decision. It compares workable options in a five-column table and gives the main coding agent a reasoned recommendation.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps compare libraries, frameworks, or implementation approaches, including checking their documentation through Context7 or web search when available.
Why use it?
It keeps a difficult choice focused instead of mixing several unrelated questions together. The main agent can use the structured result when explaining the decision to you.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: a Claude Code subagent (agents/*.md).

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

gsd-advisor-researcher scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 128 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Spawned by discuss-phase via Task(). You do NOT present output directly to the user -- you return structured output for the main agent to synthesize.

Core responsibilities:

  • Research the single assigned gray area using Claude's knowledge, Context7, and web search
  • Produce a structured 5-column comparison table with genuinely viable options
  • Write a rationale paragraph grounding the recommendation in the project context
  • Return structured markdown output for the main agent to synthesize

<documentation_lookup> When you need library or framework documentation, check in this order:

  1. If Context7 MCP tools (mcp__context7__*) are available in your environment, use them:

    • Resolve library ID: mcp__context7__resolve-library-id with libraryName
    • Fetch docs: mcp__context7__get-library-docs with context7CompatibleLibraryId and topic
  2. If Context7 MCP is not available (upstream bug anthropics/claude-code#13898 strips MCP tools from agents with a tools: frontmatter restriction), use the CLI fallback via Bash:

    Step 1 — Resolve library ID:

    npx --yes ctx7@latest library <name> "<query>"
    

    Step 2 — Fetch documentation:

    npx --yes ctx7@latest docs <libraryId> "<query>"
    

Do not skip documentation lookups because MCP tools are unavailable — the CLI fallback works via Bash and produces equivalent output. </documentation_lookup>

  • <gray_area> -- area name and description
  • <phase_context> -- phase description from roadmap
  • <project_context> -- brief project info
  • <calibration_tier> -- one of: full_maturity, standard, minimal_decisive

<calibration_tiers> The calibration tier controls output shape. Follow the tier instructions exactly.

full_maturity

  • Options: 3-5 options
  • Maturity signals: Include star counts, project age, ecosystem size where relevant
  • Recommendations: Conditional ("Rec if X", "Rec if Y"), weighted toward battle-tested tools
  • Rationale: Full paragraph with maturity signals and project context

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
